2,000 pounds of dirt is 2,000 pounds of dirt....really? LOL
3.75 more years played is 3.75 more years played, and stating that "Kaat was a reliever the last four years" is irrelevant. When he was a reliever, he obviously got fewer innings per season. That was factored in by averaging innings pitched per 162 team games played.
Murray was an elite player, and was a first ballot Hall of Famer. Kaat was on the ballot for fifteen years, and never even broke 30% of the vote. 75% is required to get into Cooperstown, and Kaat couldn't even get 40% of what was required. |
A- 20% longer is inaccurate when measuring pitcher versus hitter
B- you seem to ignore the part where I showed you Eddie Murray was not an elite player (and provided evidence to this FACT)
C- you get snarky about my example of value but don't have an argument against it.
D- you keep ignoring the part where I showed you Kaat is a top 30 pitcher all time and top 22 since the live ball era. why the omission?
